Abstract

A hinge for a movable furniture part fastened to a body of a piece of furniture is proposed, the hinge having a first fastening part which is attachable to the body and which is connected pivotably via a joint mechanism to a second fastening part attachable to the movable furniture part, the joint mechanism comprising articulated levers mounted via axes of articulation. According to the invention, a further pivotably mounted lever is present, which, during a complete as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge, is temporarily coupled to a guide portion on the hinge, the further lever acting upon a damper arrangement of the hinge.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A hinge for a movable furniture part, in particular door or flap, fastened to a body of a piece of furniture, the hinge having a first fastening part which is attachable to the body and which is connected pivotably via a joint mechanism to a second fastening part attachable to the movable furniture part, the joint mechanism comprising articulated levers mounted via axes of articulation, and a further pivotably mounted lever being present, which, during a complete as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge is temporarily coupled to a guide portion on the hinge, the further lever acting upon a damper arrangement of the hinge, wherein the further lever is received pivotably via an axis separate from the axes of articulation. 
     
     
       2. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the damper is selected from the group consisting of an inductively operating electric motor, as a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, as a cylinder, as an electrochemical or electromechanical actuator, and as a piezo-actuator. 
     
     
       3. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the further lever and the guide portion are coordinated with one another in such a way as to cancel a coupling state between the further lever and the guide portion, the coupling state occurring during an as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge into a first pivoting direction at a coupling point of the pivoting movement, during a pivoting movement of the hinge out of the coupling point into a second pivoting direction which is opposite to the first pivoting direction. 
     
     
       4. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the further lever is designed to act upon a portion of a component which is present on the first fastening part attachable to the body. 
     
     
       5. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is received between two axes of articulation of the hinge. 
     
     
       6. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the guide portion comprises a guide groove which is designed to be coordinated for temporary coupling to a meshing portion of the further lever. 
     
     
       7. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is present in such a way that the guide portion is co-moved during an as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge. 
     
     
       8. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the further lever is mounted pivotably on one of the fastening parts. 
     
     
       9. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the further lever and the damper arrangement are arranged on the same fastening part. 
     
     
       10. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hinge is designed as a universal joint hinge. 
     
     
       11. The hinge as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hinge is designed as a wide-angle hinge. 
     
     
       12. A piece of furniture having a movable furniture part, in particular door or flap, fastened to a body of the piece of furniture, the piece of furniture having a hinge as claimed in  claim 1 .
